Statement of Significance

The rendered brick, timber, concrete and shingled tile roof, in
PostWar Georgian Revival style, has cultural significance

Boan, Garrick Agnew and Robert Holmes A'Court;
it illustrates the influence of post war North
American trends on certain groups in Australia;
it is a PostWar place established for captains of
cormnerce and to suit their social activities.

Physical Description

The choice of style for a large post war place illustrates both
conservativism and the influence of post war North American
trends on Australia.

History

The place has been owned by a succession of successful WA
businessmen: It was built originally for Harry Boan of Boans
Ltd, one of Western Australia's best known and successful
retailers. It was then owned by Garrick Agnew, a mining
enterpreneur and swimming champion. The place was then
owned by Robert Holmes A'Court, a spectacularly successful
businessman of the 1980s. Considerable historical
significance.

Integrity/Authenticity

The place is a professionally competent example of its style
and period.
